10.3 Group housing societies can avail single point power supply. The energy bill of a

manner: The first 1000 (100 x 10) units would be charged at Rs 1.54/unit; the next
1000 (100 x 10) units at Rs 2.00/unit; next 2000 (200 x 10) units at Rs 3.00/unit and
the remaining units at Rs 3.20/unit along with fixed charges for entire load at Rs.5
per kW per month.

10.5 Any matter regarding supply to Group Housing societies should be as per the
Regulations laid down in JKSERC (Supply Code) Regulations, 2011;

“4.120. The consumer shall not supply any energy supplied to him by the Licensee
to another person or other premises unless he holds a suitable sanction or licence
for distribution and sale of energy granted by the Commission/State Government or
has been exempted by the Commission from holding license for sale.

4.121. In case of commercial, office or residential complexes including residential

complexes constructed by an employer for his employees, where power supply is
availed originally in the name of the builder or promoter of the complex and who
subsequently transfers the ownership of the complex, either entirely, to different
individuals or partly to different individuals retaining the balance for lease, the
power supply may be continued in the following methods.

iii) The builder or promoter of the complex in whose name the supply continues, is
permitted to extend power supply to the individual owners of the flats etc. or to
the lessee by installing sub-meters and to collect the cost of consumption of
power from them on no-profit no-loss basis (i.e. sharing of expenses of
consumption of electricity) and this shall not be treated as unauthorized
extension of supply or resale of energy.

iv) In case the promoter or builder of the complex does not wish to have any stake
in the complex after promoting the complex, the service connection originally
availed may be permitted to be transferred in the name of an Association or
Society that may be formed in the complex and registered and the service agency
so formed is permitted to extend supply to the individual owners of the flats etc.
or lessees by installing sub-meters and to collect the cost for consumption of
power from them on a no-profit no-loss basis (i.e. sharing of expenses of
consumption of electricity) and this shall not be treated as unauthorized
extension or resale of energy.
Provided that the tariff charged from ultimate consumers should under no
circumstance exceed that prescribed by the Commission for the respective tariff
category.

4.122 A panchayat/cooperative or a registered association of consumers may apply

for supply of electricity to a group of consumers at a single point. In such cases, the
body that has taken the connection shall be responsible for all payments of electrical

charges to the Licensee and for collection from the consumers. Provided that the
provisions of this clause shall not in any way affect the right of a person residing in
the housing unit sold or leased by such a Cooperative Group Housing Society to
demand supply of electricity directly from the distribution licensee of the area.
Provided that the tariff charged from ultimate consumers should under no
circumstance exceed that prescribed by the Commission for the respective tariff
category.”
